Crypto analyst Steph has presented an interesting comparison between XRP’s 2017 bull run and its current 2025 market structure in a post on the social media platform X.
Interestingly, dialing the price action many years back shows XRP has played out a similar pattern like this before. Back in 2017, the token spent months trading sideways before springing into an extraordinary vertical rally that turned it into one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of that bull cycle.
The chart highlights how the upward curvature that began around February 2017 served as the launchpad for XRP’s historic surge. By framing this as the “playbook,” Steph implies that history could be on the verge of rhyming once more.
